This week…Montreal Expos legend Denny Martinez! A Nicaraguan national hero, a great pitcher, and a guy who overcame alcoholism to have a 23 season career. He was one of the best pitchers in baseball from 1987-95. He had some of his best seasons in his 40s. He is one of only 10 players with 100 wins in both the AL and NL. He made his first All Star Game at age 36 followed by 3 more, threw a perfect game at 37, and pitched until he was 44! In his 23 season career he won 245 games in nearly 4000 innings.
